PRBO has a long and diverse history of field research in the Eastern Sierra Nevada region, beginning with investigations of migrant passerines at Mono Lake in the early 1970's, and spanning all PRBO Divisions and multiple species and habitats since.

In 1998, we initiated a study to investigate patterns in riparian breeding bird indices and demographics across three watersheds and over 250 kilometers of the Eastern Sierra Nevada region. We engaged with private and public land managers, conservation groups and other researchers and educators in the region to ensure that our data would inform bird and habitat management, restoration and conservation efforts.

In 2002, we became year round residents and established PRBO’s Eastern Sierra Field Station in Lee Vining, California. We are currently engaged in a wide range of bird and habitat monitoring, research, restoration, conservation, education and private and public land management projects.
